Busy Sunday Morning Moto News - Aprilia Concept

There is another concept vehicle based on a motorcycle engine and performance characteristics. The designer, Heikki Naulapaa, has taken an Aprilia 550c.c. V-twin engine, given it three wheels, a sitting riding position and an additional electric motor. It is called the Aprilia Magnet and it earned the creator a design position at the Italian firm. Now, if only they would decide to produce it!

Have you wondered how the engine developed for the new Motus motorcycle works? Where it is made? Or, how important it may be for the future of motorcycle engine development? Well, you will not get all of those answers at the link, but you will get a very detailed view of the all-new gDI V-4. It is the first of its kind made in the US and is built by the company which provides high-end Corvette engines (let's hope their motorcycle engines are more reliable). It's at least worth having a look!
